Embark on a culinary journey that promises to tantalize your taste buds with the vibrant flavors of West Africa.  In this episode, Chef Pierre Thiam joins us on the couch to discuss his new cookbook, "Simply West African: Easy, Joyful Recipes for Every Kitchen."  Chef Pierre takes us on a gastronomical adventure, introducing us to the diverse and rich culinary traditions of West Africa, how he's blended familiar dishes with a unique West African twist, all seasoned with the philosophy of "Teranga" - the Senegalese value of hospitality and sharing.
Chef Pierre and I continue our discussion, emphasizing the importance of cooking with the senses and understanding the cultural connections behind the ingredients we use.  He also helps us build our West African kitchen by sharing the essential tools and ingredients we should have in our pantry.  This episode is not just an exploration of West African cuisine but a culinary journey that allows you to appreciate and understand the culture behind it.  So, tune in, and let's bring the comforting and irresistible flavors of West Africa into your kitchen!
